from linux weekly news:

The Register [69]reports on a public workshop on digital rights

management. "Brett Wynkoop of NY for Fair Use did get a comment on the

record because he sat at the table with Big Hollywood and Big IT and

commandeered the microphone at one point, which meeting moderator

Phillip Bond, undersecretary for Technology in the U.S. Department of

Commerce, later objected to. "We have a structure here," Bond said

more than once when fair use advocates tried to take the floor."
